Real advocates

Victims and their families experience not only financial hardship, but also the emotional and psychological effects that accompany a lawsuit. Regardless of the type of case, Attorneys Mizner, Caulfield and Shambaugh recognize that people are looking for more than compensation for their losses: they are looking for justice. That’s why everyone at the Mizner Law Firm works hard from the beginning to resolve cases as quickly as possible to ensure that our clients are not only compensated fairly, but believe justice has been served.

With courage and compassion, Attorney John Mizner and the entire Mizner Law Firm do their best to ensure that “liberty and justice for all” are not just a few words in the Pledge of Allegiance, but a reality for each person we are privileged to serve.
